The electoral campaign for the consultative referendum for El Esequibo began this Monday in Venezuela by organizations with political purposes, guilds, unions, universities, civil society, the Popular Power and indigenous communities.

For this purpose, this weekend, the regional, municipal and parochial campaign commands were sworn in, with the objective of joining wills and calling for the unity of all the people in defense of the territory of the Guayana Esequiba.

The consultative referendum is scheduled for December 3, in which the population will have to answer five questions, as informed by the National Electoral Council (CNE).

“I keep receiving photos of the formation of the ‘All Venezuela’ Campaign Commands, throughout the national territory. I am sure it will be a campaign of national pride, of union of Venezuelans in defense of our historical rights over the Essequiba Guyana”, wrote Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in his account in the social network X.

Likewise, he highlighted that “there is strength in unity, therefore, Venezuelans are united for a single cause of national love: our Essequibo. On 3D we voted 5 times Yes!”.

Previously, the President responded to the statements made by the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, who expressed himself against the historical rights of Venezuela over the Essequiba Guyana.

“Outrageous is the position of this gentleman against a free and independent nation, it is obvious, he is a despicable being who serves the vile interests of the transnationals that intend to dispossess our country of a part of its territory”, said President Maduro.

Meanwhile, he assured that “the Essequibo is part of the whole of Venezuela, it belongs to us because of the heritage and historical struggle of our Liberators and Liberators”. Likewise, he reiterated the firm position of the South American nation “for Peace, dialogue, diplomacy and Justice”.

On the other hand, she acknowledged the work of the Minister of Defense, Vladimir Padrino López, and the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (Fanb) for acting quickly, denouncing and rejecting the attempt to disregard the historical right of the country.

Venezuelan Vice-President: national sovereignty resides in the people
In the afternoon hours of this day, thousands of people took to the streets throughout the Venezuelan territory as a show of support to the referendum to be held on December 3.

In Caracas (capital), the march was attended by the Venezuelan Executive Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez, who made exclusive statements to the teleSUR news multiplatform in which she highlighted Venezuela’s will to defend the Essequiba Guyana.

“From very early, six in the morning, Venezuela dawned in tricolor, all Venezuela singing our Bolivarian National Anthem. All of Venezuela began with military marches and all the states of the country joined in, marching with a single purpose: to defend our Guayana Esequiba, to tell Guyana that it acts as an employee of Exxon Mobil. To tell Almagro. To tell the United States that they are not in charge here, that the people of Venezuela are in charge here”, he emphasized.

In view of the approval by the Guyanese Parliament of a motion ordering the Venezuelan people not to carry out the referendum, Rodriguez stated that sovereignty resides in the people.

“Here the people of Venezuela rule, national sovereignty resides in the people, and on December 3 we will all go out to vote five times yes to the five questions. Five times yes for the defense of our historical morality, for the defense of our legacy of the liberator Simón Bolívar, for the defense of what belongs to us, which is Essequiba Guyana”, he stressed.

Study finds COVID-19 vaccines prevented 2.5 million deaths worldwide

Moderna reduces production of COVID-19 vaccine

COVID-19 vaccines prevented an estimated 2,533,000 deaths worldwide between 2020 and 2024, according to an international study led by Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Italy and Stanford University in the United States, published in the journal JAMA Health Forum. Researchers calculated that one death was prevented for every 5,400 doses administered.

The analysis also found that the vaccines saved 14.8 million years of life, equivalent to one year of life gained for every 900 doses given.

The study, coordinated by Professor Stefania Boccia, revealed that 82% of the lives saved were people vaccinated before becoming infected with the virus, and 57% of deaths avoided occurred during the Omicron wave. In addition, 90% of the beneficiaries were adults over 60 years old.

“This is the most comprehensive analysis to date, based on global data and fewer assumptions about the evolution of the pandemic,” explained Boccia and researcher Angelo Maria Pezzullo.

Trump administration blasts judge’s ruling reinstating TPS for Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump criticized a federal judge’s ruling on Friday that reinstated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua, stressing that the immigration program was never intended to serve as a “de facto asylum system.”

On Thursday, Judge Trina Thompson extended protections for about 7,000 Nepalese immigrants, whose TPS was set to expire on August 5. The ruling also impacts roughly 51,000 Hondurans and nearly 3,000 Nicaraguans, whose TPS protections were scheduled to end on September 8.

Immigrants covered by TPS had sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), alleging that the program’s termination was driven by “racial animus” and stripped them of protection from deportation.

DHS Deputy Undersecretary Tricia McLaughlin issued a statement saying the decision to end TPS was part of a mandate to “restore the integrity” of the immigration system and return the program to its original purpose.

“TPS was never conceived as a de facto asylum system; however, that is how previous administrations have used it for decades,” McLaughlin emphasized.

She also criticized Judge Thompson, calling the ruling “another example” of judges “stirring up claims of racism to distract from the facts.”

McLaughlin added that DHS would appeal the decision and take the legal battle to higher courts.

The Trump administration has also terminated TPS protections for approximately 160,000 Ukrainians, 350,000 Venezuelans, and at least half a million Haitians, among other immigrant groups.

Trump to build $200M ballroom at the White House by 2028

The U.S. government under President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that it will begin construction in September on a new 8,000-square-meter ballroom at the White House.

The announcement was made by Karoline Leavitt, the administration’s press secretary, during a briefing in which she explained that the expansion responds to the need for a larger venue to host “major events.”

“Other presidents have long wished for a space capable of accommodating large gatherings within the White House complex… President Trump has committed to solving this issue,” Leavitt told reporters.

The project is estimated to cost $200 million, fully funded through donations from Trump himself and other “patriots,” according to a government statement. Construction is scheduled to begin in September and is expected to be completed before Trump’s term ends in 2028.

The Clark Construction Group, a Virginia-based company known for projects such as the Capital One Arena and L’Enfant Plaza in Washington, D.C., has been selected to lead the project.
